Still Hungry!!
I am writing this review soley based on the brunch I had today that left me feeling unsatified and ripped off. I literally had to go to Tim Hortons to get a second breakfast. Yes, Tim Hortons. How sad.
First, let me say that I have worked in the hospitality industry for about 25 years and currently work for a food supplier so I have a very good understanding about food costing. I am in restaurants every day.
I have heard good things about The County General and I will go back and hopefully have a better experience. I loved the design and the service was good, however my $15 pulled pork eggs benedict was pretty disappointing. My breakfast consisted of two under poached eggs on one piece of toast with approx 1.5 - 2oz of pork (served on the side?) and french fries. Half of the egg was left behind it was so runny and there was nothing to soak it up with. On the plus side, it did taste good - which is why i'm giving it 3 stars. Literally the smallest breakfast portion I have ever received in a restaurant.
I'm not looking to be full, but I do expect to be satisfied. The total cost of this to the operator is about $1.50 max. That's a pretty good margin. So to look on the menu and see that I could have a burger, chicken thighs or trout dinner for about the same price. I am feeling pretty ripped off.
So, in the end I spent $23, then had to go spend another $4 at Tim Hortons to stop my stomach from rumbling.
I will go back, but not for their brunch!
